This summary uses the existing diagnostic information shown in full below.
This code means that the car's computer thinks the gas pedal or throttle isn't closing properly when it should be at its minimum position.
The P2114 code indicates a problem with the throttle or pedal position sensor C not reaching its expected minimum stop position.
The throttle position sensor (TPS) is responsible for monitoring the position of the throttle in an internal combustion engine. The P2114 code is triggered when the Engine Control Module (ECM) detects that the throttle position sensor C is not reaching the minimum stop performance, which can affect the vehicle's idle and acceleration performance.
• Check Engine Light is on
• Poor acceleration
• Engine may stall or run roughly
• Faulty throttle position sensor
• Wiring issues or poor connection
• Throttle body malfunction or obstruction
Throttle Body: A component of the air intake system that controls the amount of air flowing into the engine.
ECM: Engine Control Module, the computer that controls engine management.
• Use an OBD-II scanner to confirm the code.
• Inspect the throttle position sensor and its wiring.
• Check for obstructions or damage in the throttle body.
• Replace the throttle position sensor if faulty.
• Repair or replace damaged wiring or connectors.
• Clean or replace the throttle body if obstructed.
• OBD-II scanner
• Multimeter
• Screwdriver set
$150 - $400
Moderate
• Ford F-150
• Toyota Camry
• Honda Accord
• Regular maintenance of throttle body
• Periodic inspection of sensor connections
• Ensure clean air filter to prevent debris
Sensor Issue
• Avoid driving aggressively until repaired.
• Get the vehicle checked by a professional mechanic.
Check if the vehicle is still under warranty for powertrain components.
This code has been commonly reported in vehicles with electronic throttle control systems.
Moderate – Address the issue soon to avoid potential drivability problems.
Ignoring this code may lead to unsafe driving conditions.
• Engine at operating temperature
• Vehicle in idle or low-speed conditions
The throttle position sensor is located on the throttle body, which is typically found between the air intake and the intake manifold.
Q: Can I drive with a P2114 code?
A: It's possible to drive short distances, but it's recommended to fix the issue soon to avoid further problems.
Q: How do I reset the P2114 code?
A: After repairs, use an OBD-II scanner to clear the code from the vehicle's computer.

Fitment Required · Vehicle-fitment part
Relevant for airflow, fuel-trim, and intake-metering faults after confirming the sensor is actually at fault.
Airflow and fuel-trim codes can involve the mass air flow sensor after proper diagnosis.
Verify the sensor design and fitment for your exact vehicle.
